Blimey, My Kid's the Heir to the Billionaire Boss! -
Chapter 202 The Consequences of Being 'The Other Woman'
"Ignore those comments," Alissa whispered as she took back her phone.
"I've heard Mr. Potter's marriage was rocky to begin with. They didn't even have a wedding and all. His wife is notoriously difficult in the business world, low class and disliked by everyone. You just keep your eye on the prize, climb that ladder, and don't forget me when you marry into that wealth, okay?"
"Alissa, you've got it all wrong, it's not like that..." Sadie tried to defend herself, but her phone began to ring. An unknown number flashed on the screen. She answered, "Hello?"
"Is this Ms. Sadie Roth? I'm with Newark Network, and I wanted to discuss the situation regarding you and Mr. Ronan Potter-could we have an interview..."
Before the caller could finish, Sadie abruptly ended the call, only for her phone to ring again with yet another inquiry.
Sadie Roth didn't dare answer her phone, but it wasn't long before a barrage of texts began to explode her inbox. "Ms. Roth, this is the Newark Daily. We're interested in discussing your involvement with Mr. Ronan Potter for an exclusive..." "Ms. Roth, greetings from the Newark Business Herald. Could we arrange an interview with you at your earliest convenience?"
"Ms. Roth..."
Every notable outlet in Newark, even those from out of town and international media giants were hounding Sadie Roth for a story.
Hesitant to answer any unknown calls and too frightened to open any more messages, in just minutes, Sadie had received dozens of texts-all probing into her relationship with Ronan Potter.
Her mind raced with anxiety; she knew the scandal had blown up. If this continued, her private life would be stripped bare for all to see her three kids could be dragged into the maelstrom too... What could she do?
What should she do?
"Let me in!" Suddenly, Leah White's voice pierced the commotion from outside. "I'm not here to make a scene, I'm looking for Sadie Roth. She moved and I can't replace her so now I've come here to confront her." "That woman seduced my husband while I was away and pressured him to divorce me. I want to confront her face to face."
Meanwhile, her colleagues gathered near the elevator, exchanging glances and murmurs at the commotion. Their eyes laden with judgment upon Sadie.
Sadie remained silent with her head bowed and brows furrowed.
"What are you all staring at? Is there something worth looking at?" Alissa spoke up, fierce and unabashed. "It takes two to tango. Love and desire don't strike one-handedly, so why do we always blame the woman?" Beads of sweat formed on Sadie's forehead-great, her friend Alissa was only fanning the flames.
"Don't be scared, Sadie, I've got your back," Alissa declared, taking Sadie's arm. "Didn't you see the photo? It was Mr. Potter who held Sadie's hand and gazed at her so tenderly. Maybe Mr. Potter was the initiator..." "The homewrecker now has reasons?" A female colleague shot back, unable to conceal her scorn. "Regardless, he's married with children. It's never right to meddle in someone's family."
"Exactly! People should uphold morals and decency, not be shameless," another colleague retorted indignantly.
"You're just envious because she's attractive..." Alissa was now in a full-blown argument with her two coworkers.
"What's beauty got to do with it? Being beautiful justifies tearing families apart? Engaging in such vile acts will curse her offspring ..."
Unable to bear the shame any longer, Sadie turned on her heel and left.
"Hey, Sadie, where do you think you're going? If you miss this elevator, you're gonna be late," Alissa shouted as the doors shut.
"She just couldn't stand it anymore, huh? She's too embarrassed to stick around."
"I don't get HR sometimes. Why hire such morally corrupt people?"
"Like you're all saints? As if you're so above it all..."
With her colleagues still bickering by the elevator, Sadie Roth held her forehead, deciding to take another lift.
Then Leah White's damning voice rang out again, "Sadie Roth, you harlot! Show yourself right now or I'll spill your dirty little secrets to the press..."
